McManis Faulkner, Ibrahim Case Featured on Law360

June 07, 2019

The Department of Justice (DOJ) recently filed a petition to the U.S. Supreme Court challenging McManis Faulkner’s Ninth Circuit victory in the case of Dr. Rahinah Ibrahim. The petition was the subject of an article on Law360 on June 5.

The article details the DOJ’s appeal of the Ninth Circuit’s en banc decision from January, which paved the way for McManis to receive attorney’s fees for its defense of Dr. Ibrahim. In its petition, the DOJ alleged that the Ninth Circuit overstepped its bounds in its en banc ruling and that the justices should take up the case. Firm founder and partner James McManis states the DOJ’s appeal is just the latest act of bad faith by the government in this case.
